Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy, leader of the Yuvajana Sramika Rythu Congress (YCP), is set to give a significant boost to his wife YS Bharati's political career. With his mother YS Vijayamma and sister YS Sharmila distancing themselves from the party due to property disputes, Jagan is considering making Bharati a prominent figure in the YCP. This move aims to fill the leadership void and strengthen the party's appeal, particularly among women voters. In previous election cycles, Vi

In Andhra Pradesh, a significant shift has occurred in the state's police department following the transition from YCP to TDP government. Over 16 IPS officers, who were previously known for their allegiance to the YCP, have been stripped of their posts and are now waiting for new assignments. This move, seen as a demotion, underscores the changing dynamics of political loyalty within the state’s law enforcement agencies. Key officers affected by this reshuffle include PSR

Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu has responded to a surge of complaints regarding alleged fraudulent activities linked to the previous YCP government’s housing scheme.

The ruling party YSR Congress is overwhelmingly confident about the electoral mandate in Andhra Pradesh, to the extent that Jagan confidently announced he would take charge as the CM for the second time from Vizag. YV Subba Reddy has taken another step forward and said Jagan will take charge as the CM at 9:35 AM on 9th June. These overtly confident comments from the ruling party were ridiculed by the Telugu Desam outfit today as Raghu Rama Krishna Raju and Ganta Srinivas briefed the

There are many ground-level reports that the betting action that is going on in relation to the Andhra Pradesh election results is on par with IPL betting action. We are hearing new cases of interesting brackets that bettors are identifying to make money out of the AP electoral trends.  In one such interesting case, there is a hot rumor going around, saying that a YCP senior leader who served as a cabinet minister has invested heavily in the TDP+ alliance's win.

YS Jagan Mohan Reddy's YSR Congress is an unassailable force in the Rayalaseema region. This can be understood if we look at the fact that the party won 49 out of the 52 assembly segments in the Seema region in the 2019 election. YCP outrightly dominated TDP here.  But come 2024, the equation has changed almost completely. On one side, there is the anti-incumbency factor and on the other, there is the Sharmila factor. Sharmila, who was extremely determined to eat into the v

Telugu Desam Party chief Chandrababu Naidu hails from Chandragiri but he later shifted to Kuppam after facing a defeat in the Chandragiri assembly constituency several years ago.  Coming to the electoral trends in Chandragiri unsurprisingly, TDP is again on the backfoot as YCP's Chevireddy Mohith Reddy is being tipped to be the clear winner.  Chevireddy Bhaskar Reddy has transformed this segment into one of YSRCP's strongest.
